Human Development and Family Science Faculty & Staff

Faculty in Ohio University's Department of Social and Public Health are committed to teaching, mentorship, and student success. Department faculty have received some of the university’s highest honors for teaching and graduate mentorship, including the University Professor, Presidential Teacher, and Outstanding Graduate Faculty awards.
